Meteorites, perhaps 1-2 ounces in size, are likely spread over a 2½-mile west of the hamlet of Hamburg in Hamburg Township, said Bill Cooke, lead for NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville, Ala. A Doppler weather radar picked up material falling in that area shortly after the meteor was reported at roughly 8:15 p.m.

"It looks kind of like rain on the weather radar," Cooke said.
